Saudi Arabia is demanding a return to the pre-war status quo in the Strait of Hormuz, according to a single source. Iran has responded that the strait will not revert to its previous condition under any proposed agreements, insisting on its sovereignty over the waterway.
A single source reports that Saudi Arabia is pressing for a restoration of the pre-war status in the Strait of Hormuz, while Iran has rejected any agreement that would return the waterway to its prior condition, insisting on its sovereign control. The claim aligns with a persistent thread of Iranian statements — as The Zioneer has reported, Iranian officials from Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf to military leaders have repeatedly asserted in recent weeks that the strait will not revert to pre-war norms. The current report does not specify the diplomatic forum or timeline. The report is based on a single unverified source.
